SUMMARY:
The Escambia Pensacola Affordable Housing Advisory Committee (AHAC), established in 2015 pursuant to the State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) Act and the Escambia/Pensacola SHIP Interlocal Agreement, serves as an advisory committee that makes recommendation to the City Council and the Board of County Commissions regarding initiatives to encourage and facilitate affordable housing programs.
The AHAC is tasked with submitting an annual report to the local governing body which includes recommendations on the implementation of affordable housing incentives. During the 2020 State Legislative Session, the legislature modified the AHAC’s reporting requirements from triennial to annual. The extension of the committee members’ terms from September 30, 2021, to December 31, 2021, will allow members to meet and complete the required annual report. Due to public health concerns associated with COVID-19, the AHAC did not meet from March 2020 through July 2021.
On July 8, 2021, the Board of County Commissions approved to extend the terms of the AHAC members until December 31, 2021.
